I ran all three on real WordPress sites over several months. One I deleted within a week. One I still use. One I kept paying for way longer than I should have. Here’s the honest version. 🔒 Affiliate disclosure: Some links on this page are affiliate links. If you sign up through them I earn…
If you’ve spent any time reading about affiliate marketing, you’ve probably noticed that basically all of it is written for Americans. ShareASale this, CJ Affiliate that. Payouts in USD, products that don’t ship here, tax forms that make no sense for an Australian to fill out. It’s fine information if you’re in the US, but…

I want to be upfront before we get into this. Some of the links in this post are affiliate links, which means if you sign up or buy something through them, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. I only mention programs I have actually used or researched properly. That said,…
I want to be upfront about something before I get into this: I am an affiliate for WP Rocket. That means if you click a link and buy it, I earn a small commission. I mention this because I think you should know, and also because I think it is irrelevant to whether what I’m…
Digital marketing tools Australia has no shortage of. I want to tell you about the six or so months I spent downloading, trialling, cancelling, and occasionally swearing at various marketing tools before I landed on anything I actually trusted. Most of what gets recommended online is aimed at American businesses with American budgets, and half…
